I ran to the john to relieve my pain
I had to wait for...

Lines derail trains made from stern stock
shunting worsted words in wagons to and fro
cabins depleted by looters piled on dock

forefathers shape not their twisted progeny
when foremothers shunt them out of...

Poems For Sale- a Poet's WorthWords are good as fairy tale!
They can never be for sale.
A depiction of real knowledge,
Key for a sweetest prestige
Steal it but you cannot!

Buy it for dollars with two eyes closed.
You’ll not go to have it for your pose.

Poems Omega Minus - Parts Three To FiveIII
Kept out
kept out he was: muzzled and shut out
from mothering social approval
and the usual conning courtesies
Kept shut
Involuting in the hippo-lipped paranoïa
from the darling eyes of his deriding kinsfolk
from packed houses’ applauding mental aneamia.
The touch-me-not

If You Pull a Long Face - Part XxviiIF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XXVII
IF you pull a long poet's face
All things you write go awry
E'en fans who cuddle up offer no solace

If you pull a long deserted face

If You Pull a Long Face - Part Xlii - 42
IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE: 42
If you pull a long-bored acrimonious face
Looking hardly at anyone passing your way
Your sunken cheeks spiting your own face
But those bitter bitten lips will give you away
If you keep pulling that long forsaken-look face
Wondering why each face will not...

DoppelgangerComing home late from wandering in my sleep

His looks – minus my glasses – through an impish mien
Transfixed me
my sandals gently flapping on his soles.

December GuestMy sorrow, when she's not here with me,
These dark days of winter rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loved to walk, the withered path
Along the sodden pasture lane.
Her Pleasure will not let me stray.
She talks and I am away with the mist;
She scares the birds...
